My new therapist planted this seed in my head and I feel the need to explore it. I have not been in a relationship romantically for at least 15 years. I find the sexual pressure suffocating and sometimes scary due to past trauma. I always assumed I was a straight lady with a fear of sexual intimacy. T hinted that maybe I'm actually asexual. I want to be in a relationship and I do have libido but the sexual aspects in a relationship are usually too much for me. What term in the Ace community would fit someone like me? Do I fit at all? What is your experience like if you can relate? I welcome the opening up of relationship types and definitions but I admit the terms are confusing.

**not even sure if my post is appropriate on this thread. If not I apologize! I know some feel that this can be intrusive If anyone feels that way I'll ask the mods to move or delete this
